I saw him live about ten years ago.
As per usual, he was about two hours late getting started. Once things got going I counted no fewer than sixty people traipsing about the stage in various stages of undress and demonstrating innumerable methods of erotic dance, including but not limited to a contortionist pimp with a dildo for a nose, all while George sat motionless on a stool in the center.
This went on for at least four hours at which point, we decided to take our leave.
As far as I know, that show is still going, never to conclude.
That shit was weird. Really weird.
It must have taken a pause at least because I saw him 9 years ago in a field in the UK
Fantastic musician, but as you say, definitely a bit weird
Kinda as all the greats are, really
I think George might transcend spacetime and that it's possible that both your show and mine are still going on somewhere in a broom closet aboard the mother ship.
That makes a lot of sense actually, I'm convinced this is the case
My favorite live video clip is their performance of Cosmic Slop in Houston 1976. It's pretty much as you describe:
At one point they realize the sound on one of the guitars is out, and they just switch player mid-solo. That's professionalism.
